If you’re not one to believe in fairy tale endings, then this story is one you definitely don’t want to miss. One of the best footballers in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo has made a spectacular comeback to a club where he first rose to fame in his senior professional career. It’s like the full circle of life, returning to the place where it all began more than a decade later.
Last week, Read Scoops put up an article on whether or not CR7 would end up back in Manchester United. In that speculative piece, we mentioned that the chances were super slim because there were clubs with bigger budgets like Manchester City and PSG lining up to sign this world class Portuguese striker, leaving his club Juventus after 3 years spent in Italy.

However, we were proved to be wrong last night as the race came to a close and it was eventually United who went on to sign Ronaldo, and it’s a bit of a homecoming for the 36-year old. After a few appearances for Sporting CP in his early years, it was United where his career first kicked off between 2003-2009, making 196 appearances for the Red Devils across competitions.
After that, he found a new home in Real Madrid before making the move to Juventus. Earlier yesterday, Ronaldo was seen speaking to his former United boss, Alex Ferguson. That’s when fans started believing in these rumours and the deal was sealed last night as the club officially confirmed that he’ll be making a return to them, 12 years later!
Time have changed and there’s a lot of aging that has happened as well, but will Ronaldo help United to a Premier League victory, which has been elusive for many years now?! He will pair up with his Portugal teammate Bruno Fernandes and we’re super excited to watch him in action. For similar football stories from around the world, stay tuned to ReadScoops.com…
